HIMSS Immunization Integration Program CDC Test Plan v10.0

The practice site for the scenario is Shoreline Pediatrics. The EHR vendor loads demographic data and clinical history for Juana Mariana Vazquez. The data includes immunizations provided by the practice.

The vendor also enters:

-Two vaccines administered at other sites

1. an influenza vaccine given at a local pharmacy

2. an inactivated polio vaccine given elsewhere and not reported to the registry - the history includes an adverse reaction (febrile seizure) 8 hours after the vaccine was administered

- Adverse reaction to inactivated polio vaccine (febrile seizure) and the date and source of information

NOTE: the historical vaccines will be imported during the Registry query (e.g. from another practice).

Set-up step evaluating EHR functions for capturing and storing patient pediatric demographic data, historical immunizations, and clinical conditions. There is no transaction associated with this test step.

No Pre-Condition

The EMR has recorded all of the pediatric demographic data, historical immunizations, and clinical conditions in the record created for Juana Mariana Vazquez using the test data provided.

Register New Patients: The EHR or other clinical software system must allow a user to enter distinguishing information about patients so that providers can uniquely identify patients who have similar sounding names or other similar identifying information. For example, twins living in the same household will have similar dates of birth, addresses, and may have similar names. The EHR or other clinical software system must be able to store information to successfully match with patients in immunization registries, if the information is available. Specific to immunization registries, that information includes the mother's maiden name, whether the patient was part of a multiple birth, and the birth order (i.e., ordinal number of birth, first, second, etc.). This information allows the provider to correctly identify the patient and also helps ensure a match when the EHR sends the patient's information to external systems such as an immunization registry.

Record Past Immunizations: The EHR or other clinical software system allows providers to enter information about immunizations given elsewhere (e.g., by another doctor, at a public health clinic, pharmacy, etc.) with incomplete details.

Request/Receive Patient Immunization Data and Identify Source: The EHR stores immunization history accepted electronically from other sources (such as a public health immunization registry consistent with HL7 version 2.5.1, Implementation Guide for Immunization Messaging Release 1.5) or communicated by the patient and manually entered by the clinician. When viewing such information, the provider can determine which immunizations were administered by the practice, which were entered historically as patient-reported, and which were accepted electronically from the public health registry.

Data Quality Checks: The EHR or other clinical software system Integrates additional data quality checks into IIP Testing and Recognition to improve data quality and reduce rejections.

Note: The EHR or other clinical software system prevents specific data issues which would potentially result in IIS errors as defined by the AIRA Error Codes. This supports reducing data quality issues that could trigger the following AIRA-defined Error Codes:

• 2104 : Indicates that a historical dose is being reported for the current date.
• 2204 : Indicates that the administration being reported occurred too far in the past.

Supporting data for:

Compare Public Health Immunization Registry (IIS) Immunization History to EHR Immunization History: The public health immunization registry has returned the requested immunization history for a patient (Return Evaluated Immunization History and Forecast (Z42) – HL7 Version 2.5.1 Implementation Guide for Immunization Messaging Release 1.5). The EHR is able to display the evaluated immunization history received from the registry as well as the immunization history already present in the EHR so that a user can compare them. The EHR provides a way for the provider to view both histories, determine what is different (if anything), and update the existing EHR immunization history with new information from the public health registry if they choose to do so. The system must store the new information as structured data as part of the patient's local immunization history and include the time of the update and the source of the new information.

Identify Adverse Event: The EHR or other clinical software system enables capture of structured data regarding adverse events.

Evaluation criteria is defined within each test step.

The date/time of birth for the twins includes birth time. This aids in distinguishing the birth order for multiple births. Since this patient is not a multiple birth, the vendor can pass with notable exception if the birth date/time does not include precision of birth time. The notable exception should document the lack of support for birth time.

While the PID indicates that it is Vendor Supplied, the ID returned from the registry query is: 123456^^^MYEHR^MR~987633^^^MYIIS^SR. The IIS will not know the PID of the local system, and there is no context-based validation checking for the PID.

Registry status of' 'Active' is required when sending a VXU to the IIS which will be done for this patient.

Manual entry of one of the patient demographics and clinical history will be required (or reviewed) to ensure that entry of the required fields is possible.

Publicity Code is included in order to support documentation of communication method for the TestCaseGroup:Cohort Report. If the EHR does not support this attribute, the result for this step may indicate pass, but the lack of support should be documented as a notable exception.

The date/time of birth for the twins includes birth time. This aids in distinguishing the birth order of the twins, but as long as birth order is supplied, the vendor can pass with notable exception if the birth date/time does not include precision of birth time. The notable exception should document the lack of support for birth time.

While the PID indicates that it is Vendor Supplied, the ID returned from the registry query is: 123456^^^MYEHR^MR~987633^^^MYIIS^SR. The IIS will not know the PID of the local system, and there is no context-based validation checking for the PID.

Protection Indicator Effective Date may use current date if constrained by EHR workflow.

The practice site for the scenario is Metro Primary Care. The EHR vendor loads demographic data and clinical history for Adult Anita Francesca Marina.

Set-up step evaluating EHR functions for capturing and storing patient adult demographic data, historical immunizations, and clinical conditions. There is no transaction associated with this test step.

No Pre-Condition

The EHR has recorded all of the adult demographic data, historical immunizations, and clinical conditions in the record created for Anita Francesca Marina using the test data provided.

Register New Patients: The EHR or other clinical software system must allow a user to enter distinguishing information about patients so that providers can uniquely identify patients who have similar sounding names or other similar identifying information. For example, twins living in the same household will have similar dates of birth, addresses, and may have similar names. The EHR or other clinical software system must be able to store information to successfully match with patients in immunization registries, if the information is available. Specific to immunization registries, that information includes the mother's maiden name, whether the patient was part of a multiple birth, and the birth order (i.e., ordinal number of birth, first, second, etc.). This information allows the provider to correctly identify the patient and also helps ensure a match when the EHR sends the patient's information to external systems such as an immunization registry.

Provide Access to Update Immunization Information: The patient is able to add or request an update to immunization information for review by the provider.

Review Patient-Provided Immunization Information: The EHR or other clinical software system provides a mechanism for the provider to review patient-generated immunization data. It also provides a mechanism for the provider to update or annotate the immunization history, indicating the source of the information.

Request/Receive Patient Immunization Data and Identify Source: The EHR stores immunization history accepted electronically from other sources (such as a public health immunization registry consistent with HL7 version 2.5.1, Implementation Guide for Immunization Messaging Release 1.5) or communicated by the patient and manually entered by the clinician. When viewing such information, the provider can determine which immunizations were administered by the practice, which were entered historically as patient-reported, and which were accepted electronically from the public health registry.

Data Quality Checks: The EHR or other clinical software integrates additional data quality checks into IIP Testing and Recognition to improve data quality and reduce rejections.

   Note: The EHR or other clinical software system prevents specific data issues which would potentially result in IIS errors as defined by the AIRA Error Codes. This supports reducing data quality issues that could trigger the following AIRA-defined Error Codes:

  - 2002 : Indicates that the date of birth messaged in PID-7 is after the date of death messaged in PID-29.

  - 2100  : Indicates that any date field is in the future. Specific errors for date transmitted in an OBX are also provided.

  - 2202 : Indicates individual components of the address are valid, but overall, the address is invalid (conflict between elements, non-existent address, etc)

  - 2007: Indicates a conflict between PID-29 and PID-30 or between PD1-16 and either PID field. In other words, one element indicates the patient is deceased and another element indicates the patient is not deceased.

  - 2306 : Indicates that the patient found is too old.

Supporting data for:

Compare Public Health Immunization Registry (IIS) Immunization History to EHR Immunization History: The public health immunization registry has returned the requested immunization history for a patient (Return Evaluated Immunization History and Forecast (Z42) – HL7 Version 2.5.1 Implementation Guide for Immunization Messaging Release 1.5). The EHR is able to display the evaluated immunization history received from the registry as well as the immunization history already present in the EHR so that a user can compare them. The EHR provides a way for the provider to view both histories, determine what is different (if anything), and update the existing EHR immunization history with new information from the public health registry if they choose to do so. The system must store the new information as structured data as part of the patient's local immunization history and include the time of the update and the source of the new information.

Evaluation criteria is defined within each test step.

No Note

The EHR vendor attempts to enter demographic data for new adult patient Anita Francesca Marina. These data quality checks primarily relate to improving patient matching information that will be included when submitting data to the immunization registry or when querying the immunization registry.

Evaluates EHR functions for verifying data quality of demographic data used for patient matching. There is no transaction associated with this test step.

No Pre-Condition

The EHR has alerted the provider for each of the data quality checks verified for Anita Francesca Marina.

  - 2306 : Indicates that the patient found is too old.

Evaluation Criteria: During the course of data entry for information below, the EHR triggers the following data quality issues:

1. Triggers Error that patient is too old (2306)
2. Triggers error indicating, conflict: one element indicates the patient is deceased and another element indicates the patient is not deceased. (2207)
3. Triggers Error that the birth date is after the death date (2002)
4. Triggers conflict in address (Zip inconsistent with city and state) (2202)

They will demonstrate the capability if the functionality exists.  The HIMSS IIP observer will record the process to evaluate whether this capability should be included in future testing.

The EHR generates a Z44 query to the Immunization Registry to retrieve the Evaluated History and Forecast for Juana Mariana Vazquez.

Querying the registry will consist of the vendor creating Z44 messages for Juana Mariana Vazquez to be sent to the registry. The response will be processed as part of the 'Display, Reconcile, Import and Update Immunization Information' activity.

Using the Z42 Response to Immunization Registry Query, the EHR displays the Evaluated History and Forecast to the user for reconciliation and update. The vendor will receive information back from the registry and show the ability to view and reconcile, and import the information returned by the registry (NOTE: the Z42 message will be provided either manually, or as part of the tool). This test will also look at the system's ability to view the forecast returned by the registry and create a new forecast after reconciling the information.

Juana Mariana Vazquez is entered as a patient in the EHR with complete Demographic data, Immunization History Data, and Clinical Data according to the steps in the 'Juana Mariana Vazquez Initial Data Load.'

A Z44 Query is generated and submitted to the Immunization Registry/Test tool, and a Z42 response is returned.

Select New Patient: The EHR or other clinical software system must allow a user to distinguish information about patients with similar names or identifying information in order to select the right patient from the providers’ EHR or other clinical software system. This information is crucial for identifying and selecting the correct patient.  For example, twins living in the same household will have similar dates of birth, addresses, and may have similar sounding names. In order to match patients with those already in the immunization registry, the EHR or other clinical software should have the ability to record the mother’s maiden name, whether the patient was part of a multiple birth, and if so, the order of birth (when such information is available). The provider should be aware of how often the protection indicator information must be updated based on local rules.

Request/Receipt of Patient Immunization History: The EHR or other clinical software system sends a request to the public health immunization registry "on demand," or in advance for those with scheduled appointments. The request includes the identifying information the immunization registry needs to match each patient with those in the registry including, if present, the mother's maiden name, a multiple birth indicator, and the birth order. The request also is sent in a pre-determined format the registry can read and interpret (Request Evaluated Immunization History and Forecast (Z44) - HL7 version 2.5.1 Implementation Guide for Immunization Messaging Release 1.5).

Compare Public Health Immunization Registry (IIS) Immunization History to EHR Immunization History: The public health immunization registry has returned the requested immunization history for a patient (Return Evaluated Immunization History and Forecast (Z42) – HL7 Version 2.5.1 Implementation Guide for Immunization Messaging Release 1.5). The EHR is able to display the evaluated immunization history received from the registry as well as the immunization history already present in the EHR so that a user can compare them. The EHR provides a way for the provider to view both histories, determine what is different (if anything), and update the existing EHR immunization history with new information from the public health registry if he or she chooses to do so. The system must store the new information as structured data as part of the patient's local immunization history and include the time of the update and the source of the new information.

Request/Receive Patient Immunization Data and Identify Source: The EHR stores immunization history accepted electronically from other sources (such as a public health immunization registry consistent with HL7 version 2.5.1, Implementation Guide for Immunization Messaging Release 1.5) or communicated by the patient and manually entered by the clinician. When viewing such information, the provider can determine which immunizations were administered by the practice, which were entered historically as patient-reported, and which were accepted electronically from the public health registry.

View Immunization Forecast: The EHR or other clinical software system provides a view of the immunization forecast provided by the IIS. The display includes the recommended vaccines and their associated dates (e.g., earliest, recommended, past due, latest) for each vaccine included in the forecast.

View Reconciled Immunization Forecast: The EHR or other clinical software system has the ability to re-evaluate and update the immunization forecast using a patient's newly updated immunization history. Forecasts are updated following reconciliation of immunization data contained in the public health immunization registry with immunization data contained in the EHR. Processing the new forecast can be internal to the EHR or it can use an external forecasting service, but should reference the most recent recommendations.

 Review Patient Immunization History: The EHR or other clinical software systems displays vaccine history by vaccine series.

Record Past Immunizations: The EHR or other clinical software system allows providers to enter information about immunizations given elsewhere (e.g., by another doctor, at a public health clinic, pharmacy, etc.) with incomplete details.

Support for:

Receive Dose Not Indicated Alert for Single Vaccine Order: The EHR or other clinical software system notifies the provider in instances when there are single or combination vaccine orders that are inconsistent with the expected timing intervals included in the vaccine forecast. Inconsistencies include suggestion of different date(s) for ordering the vaccine(s) or indication the vaccine(s) is/are no longer required.

Evaluation criteria is defined within each test step.

1. The EHR is able to receive the response from the Immunization Registry.

2. The EHR displays the information returned from the Immunization Registry according to the Juror Document.

- Complete review for Polio administered 3/23/2017, MMR 8/22/2017.

- remaining vaccines may be reviewed only for the vaccine name and date administered.

3. The EHR is able to differentiate the vaccines in the comparison between the EHR and the vaccination history.

The juror document also contains the verification content for the immunization forecast, which is tested and graded separately at step 5: View the vaccination history for Juana Mariana Vazquez. The criteria for this step is tested separately here and graded only with respect to the vaccine history.

Visualization of the adverse reaction for the Polio Vaccine in the history returned from the IIS is an advanced function. The adverse event is returned in the message and may be displayed during comparison by the EHR, but it is not listed in the Juror document.

The EHR must minimally display the vaccine administered and the date of the immunization.
